Soften hard architectural features A good hedge will balance the structures that we live and work in. You can 'decorate' your house, building or shed with a hedge. Encouraging lush growth Hedge plants should be cut back regularly as they are growing, especially early on. This will promote lush, dense growth. This will give maximum leaf coverage and privacy.
